London, Feb 4 : Brit actress Kate Winslet has revealed that she had a harrowing love life during her teenage years, with her dad Roger installing a payphone at home and interrupting her calls in between.

Winslet, 33, recalled moments when she was on the phone and ran out of coins, begging the other person not to hang up on her.

"My father was so worried about our phone he kept cutting it off and installed a payphone in our home," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"Or he would pick up the extension and sigh and tut down the line when I was talking to boyfriends.

"The payphone's not there anymore. But I do remember the days of it beeping and me shouting, `Hang on, hang on, get a coin. Don't hang up, don't break up with me on the phone, I just need a coin'," she added. (ANI)
